Fingertips are used to measure pulse oximetry which indicates the amount of oxygen being carried in your blood. Fingertips are used since their the easiest method and noninvasive. However the probe can also be used on earlobes, toes, and noses is necessary to give a reading.
No.. the index finger does not have a pulse... for this reason, when feeling for a person's pulse, you use your middle finger and your index finger (you never use your thumb as it has a pulse)
I was taught in nursing school that both the thumb and index finger have a pulse, so that when taking someone else's pulse, use the middle and ring finger
The thumb because it has a pulse of it's own.
you can find your pulse in your chest,your wrist , and your finger
by using finger pointer and the index finger.

For infants you can check the pulse by using the apical pulse, or heart beat with a stethascope, or using your index and middle finger to feel for a brachial pulse on the upper inside area of the arms.
put on finger on the pulse and count how many beats there are derrrhh xx
There is a pulse everywhere in you body. Your pulse is the number of times your heart beats in a minute and so if there is no "pulse" in any area of the body it is not receiving blood from the heart and will die pretty quick. There is however not usually a strong enough pulse in the index finger for it to be detectable by human senses (this is why we use the index finger and not the thumb for taking a pulse). There are obvioulsy machines that can sense it and these are used in some forms of polygraph and I believe by psychologists testing levels of stress.
When it came to fashion, she always had her finger on the pulse.
For the average adult, a normal heart rate can vary. It's usually be 60 and 100 beats per minute. To check someone's pulse, use your index and middle finger together and place the pads of those two fingers where you feel the radial pulse.
Not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly, but they have to be taken separately. There is no such math equation to derive pulse from the numbers of your BP. But to take your pulse is very simple: use a clock/watch with a seconds hand, put your index and middle finger on your wrist directly down from your thumb (palm facing up), feel the beat against finger tips (consistently), when a new minute is starting then you start counting how many beats you feel, count the beats for the FULL minute. Your pulse is the total number of beats you counted during the minute. Normal Heart rate is 60-100 bpm= beats per minute
